Fraudster Mobile Apps Detector in Google Playstore

摘要

The identification of the fraudulent app in Google playstore is determined by users only by executing apps and by analyzing permission. An app which has higher rating, ranking and good reviews in Google playstore may attract more users to download and can also be ranked higher in the leader board. The rating, ranking and reviews are not always real to believe that an app is a legitimate one. Some fraudulent developers boost their apps dishonestly in Google playstore. Hence in this paper, we propose a method to detect the fraud app in Google playstore by aggregating the three evidences in the playstore such as ranking, reviews and rating of of the particular app. Thus by aggregating entire activities of leading apps, it can achieve accuracy in classifying standard datasets of fraudulent and legitimate apps.
